Benefits of Mulching services
Mulching will reduce water loss from the soil- it slows evaporation and improves water absorption.
Mulching helps to slow weed growth reducing the amount of weeding.
Soil quality can be improved with organic mulches that enrich soil as it decomposes.
Mulch will help protect plant roots from wide temperature swings.
Mulching can also lessen the amount of lawn maintenance. Increasing the number or size of flower beds and filling them with mulch will reduce the amount of lawn mowing. Placing a ring of mulch around trees, plants, landscape lighting or water features will also reduce the amount of lawn mowing needed.
Mulch conserves soil and minimizes erosion.
Types of Mulch
Organic Mulch
A natural organic mulch is beneficial to gardening and will decompose quickly, enriching the soil as it breaks down. All mulches break down at different rates and should be applied evenly across your flower beds so that the nutrients are distributed evenly and the overall look remains level as the decomposition occurs.
